Fave podcasts from summer wanderings

You might think I need to get a life over summer, but being able to walk along the beach and listen to great speakers is not exactly hard work and it feeds the way I work with my clients, getting them to tell their stories authentically. Here are a few corkers that you might enjoy.

Hetain Patel's awesome speech on how we think about ourselves. Watch for his hilarious play on translators. What a cool artist he is.

Boyd Varty spoke on the day of Nelson Mandela's death, offering some firsthand stories about Mandela straight after he left prison.

Jake Barton takes a very exciting look at new ways to experience history in museum contexts - powerful ways to use digital technology to record history and offer much richer museum/gallery experiences.

Kelli Swazey, an anthropologist, shares her research on a remote Indonesian tribe's very different way of experiencing and celebrating death and how people we love translate from being alive to becoming ancestors. Beautiful.

I am a bestselling business author, freelance writer and media consultant. I work on a portfolio of media projects including media training, workshops, communications strategy and coaching with senior executives in the public and private sector. Lately I have been doing communications audits (detoxes of websites and poor PR services), preparing people for major presentations, developing tenders and have produced (from scratch) very cool, cost-effective websites. Plus there are a whole lot of clients I can't talk about from rock stars and chefs to gazillionaires.
